how long for blog to make 1 sale a day?
 

In your opinion pro bloggers, how long would it take to have 10 blogs each making 1 sale a day working a minimum of 6 hrs a day and updating each blog a minimum of 3 times a week?Also assuming that the respective porn blogger has some decent writing skills and is able to compose a proper english sales text.

I am actually considering getting into blogging as an adjunct to my freesite submission tactics but want something that will help me reach my sales goals for mid 2007.|thumb

There is no real way to answer your question honestly because there are simply to many variables to consider. Do I think you can be in a postion where a network of 10 blogs were netting a sale a day each within a year, probably.

But you have a large learning curve if your going to do it. Promoting a blog is similar to promoting a free site in some ways but it's also very different and its really more than just writing good sales text.

But if you want to really get serious about it, start reading there is tons of stuff out there about marketing with blogs and then try and disect what Boogie did with Pornogomy because that definately one way to be successful at it.

Here's one of the places I like to read now and them

I agree, hard to say. Dont know how good you are at getting traffic or getting surfers to the sponsor. Keeping up blogs is more time consuming than most realize. Best thing to do is start a blog and see how it goes and learn, learn, learn. Dont forget Walrus has some good info on his blogging tools site.

Anything is possible if you believe it.

I'm sure it's possible, but for the time you're going to put into it I bet you could make twice as many sales making freesites.

It takes a lot of time maintaining a real blog, not to mention ten. I started my blogs with big ambitions, but the return vs effort is discouraging. They've both degenerated into occassionally updated splogs and if I've made ten sales off both of them in the past year that would be it.

99% of my traffic is from SEs, but 99% of that again is image and video searches and I don't think it's very productive.

Best of luck, but be prepared for a lot of hard work.

It would take exactly 214 days.

Exactly. I used MAGIC MEGA MATH to figure this out.

It would require 914 hours of work a week and you'll have to learn to harness the suns rays to do it.

but 214 days. mark my words.

*gasps*

I'll take two!

thanks for the help guys.|headbang| I know it will take ALOT of hard work, and I am doing this full time right now.

Lemmy, you really think with the same amount of time invested in free sites I could be at 20 sales a day in mid 07? That would be 500-650$ a day|shocking| I keep think I'm missing something here, work hard for a year or two full time and make good money? I busted my ass for two years at my last startup and have jackshit to show for it.|banghead|

I learned alot from it, but made no dough.|huh

Actually, I have to say this: 1 sale per day at $30 per sale would mean about $1000 for a single site (or about 12k per year). That would not be a bad return on a simple to middling blog.

Now, assuming that 1 in 50 people click to a sponsor, and 1 in 250 signup (you have a targetted product, so conversions are a bit better) then you are looking at needing... (READY?)

12,500 visitors per day to your blog.

Now, if you can up the clickouts to sponsors to 10% (1 in 10) that number drops to 2500 visitors... improve conversion to 1 in 200, you need 2000.

So, the question should be: How do I get 2500 real live visitors to my blog that are interested in what I am blogging about.

Sales will come naturally from that process, I think.

Eventually free sites do have a saturation point… A blogs does not, but if you want to live off of it… I think you will need both.

RawAlex, Good point. If I was to get into blogs, I would probably read about 5-10 SEO books and implement that knowledge in my blogs. I would probably also spend some dough on info if I couldn't get it from those books.

Carl, If I could make 30k + a month I will be happy because I will then use this business to allocate funds toward other very lucrative investments like real esate and angel funding for biotech and nanotech startups:D

like these

and others. I'm using this business as a springboard for BIG money. In the coming decades we will successfully slow and eventually eliminate the aging process in humans, how much money is there in giving society what it really wants? Not billions, but TRILLIONS of dollars. I know this isn't an investment forum , so I'll stop there, but that is the tip of the iceberg.

I have nothing to add on the blog bit since i only have a personal one, but it is nice to see someone passionate about something they really believe in.

Now convert that "passion" to porn and you might make your goals.

Good luck

docholly, thanks for the encouraging words.


I'm Very passionate about making this work, I will not stop until it does.

Free sites usually die off also, where a blog keeps growing, if you keep working it. Usually with a free site you submit it, your done, thats pretty much the end. Unless you do SEO on the free site and get picked up by the SE's, but most people dont.

ronnie

SE hits to my freesites just keep on growing. Over the past year and a half I've submitted to some 150 LLs (currently down to about 24). Right now Google is my #5 referrer and Yahoo is #10, both ahead of some pretty big LLs that I submit to (and get accepted at) regularly.

Once a freesite has been out there for a month or two it usually picks up some PR and I have plenty of freesites with PR3.

The only SEO I do is put up some relevant text, make sure all the metas are matching and use and
